Blower noise
 

I've started getting a noise from the blower in my 2006 Santa Fe.
Sounds like a ticking noise...driving me nuts. When I push on the
blower housing, at least I think it's the blower housing, under the
glove coompartment, the sound changes. Sounds like a fan blade is
hitting against something. Almost like a leaf or something is in
there. Constant ticking noise. Low when the fan speed is low, louder
and faster when the fan speed is higher.

Anyone heard of this before?

Thanks.

I've had this happen several times with my 2004 Santa Fe. The first time,
the dealer found a leaf in the blower. Subsequently, I installed a cabin
air filter, thinking it would block such foreign objects from getting in
there. But it's happened several times since. Eventually, the problem
seems to disappear on its own.

Eventually, the leaf falls apart.

Or a mouse will get in there and eat the leaf.
